Daughter Does Not Want To Be Around Family Members. Has Anyone Else Experienced This?

Ah. There are some that my daughter can't handle one at a time :). Sometimes if the visit centers around something that she likes it takes the pressure off.

We had this issue with my oldest. She would start screaming and run and hide. It took a little bit of time and we realized with 2 of them it was their facial hair. (being a military family she doesn't see many men with facial hair). Then for another it was the body spray he was using.

We also have friends that my daughter doesn't want to be around so we try to go to locations where she can be a little bit away from the person.

Unfortunately she can't even handle one at a time.

She also handles them much better one or two at a time rather than in a big group.

I don't know what went wrong. She use to be fine with being around them but for the past couple of months there are a few she wants nothing to do with. Sometimes she even cries. It is very hard. Thanks for your input. I will give that a try.
